Why the internet is not Free?

 


People's Daily quotes:

 (Reprinted from 'Today's Headlines')




 Four sentences in life: 

Earning money is just a game, and living is victory.  Health is the goal, and happiness is the true meaning.

 The translation of these four sentences is: Life is eating and shitting happily, and there is no other purpose.

 Want to argue with them? It is totally useless.  Because they have controlled all the network. They would say a million words to cover .  The philosophy of selfishness is every where on the web. Its in the most popular form, every day, every moment. they are spreading without end.

And the network has a secret master.  At the master's command, this pig's philosophy continues to spread.

Or this is the most important truth in the world right now:

 The Internet is not free.  Networks have secret owners

 There is an invisible hand to manipulate everything in the dark.





人民日報的金句:

(今日頭條轉載)

人生四句話:掙錢衹是遊戲, 活著就是勝利。健康才是目的,快樂才是真諦。

四句話翻譯出來就是:  人生就是快快樂樂的吃飯和拉屎,此外並無其他目的。

你想跟他們辯論嗎? 那是全沒有用的。因為這已經形成了一種網絡。你說一句。他們說一億萬句。網絡上的自私哲學, 以最通俗的形式,每天每時每刻,不斷傳播。

而網絡是有主人的。主人吩咐,這種豬的哲學就不斷散佈。

或者這才是現在世界最重要的真相:

互聯網並不是自由的。網絡是有秘密主人的。有一隻無形的手。在暗中操縱一切。

Why dreaming is more important than health?

                             2017.8.14

To have a dream is idealism. To have more money is the other end of materialism. And people would not mention their greed. They would only encourage health seeking. They would say health is the most important thing. But the idea is wrong. Mind and spirit is more important then health. Anyone who has a strong conviction and keeps in mind an ideal goal would have a better health. Human body is governed by mind. If any one loses the will to live on, would have health problems very fast. What is a will to live on? It is dreaming. Or, idealism.


Why should I have a dream?  Any one who likes to see, to read, to search, would have a dream.


And we could say it is the ultimate motivation of life.

(so, the end of life is not death)


One important factor of life is balancing. You always need to balance yourself. You need to balance between the need of basic living necessities and the urge to find the ideal. And there are lots other things need balancing. Like family and work, exercise and rest, etc. But the most important of all is your basic motivation. It is like an airplane. To balance in the air is important. But if the plane loses motivation, it falls.


Why do people keep telling us health is the most important?


It is propaganda sometimes.


We could easily find it in the popular culture in Hong Kong (and inland China).


Encourage eating, encourage longevity (It is the older form of promoting health); the COUNTRY would become a farm of healthy pigs.


It is a long term and secret tactic of the American Empire, I believe, to bring Hong Kong or any other city into a place of nowhere and finally separate itself from its own country.    


It is a real tactic, not the natural trend of the Chinese culture. It could be seen in numerous movies, entertaining TV shows, and more obviously, the spreads of Whatsapp articles.  


It is cheap and effective political tactic.



..............

 a new reference:





It is not normal. It is political.



(Notes no. 1


The inserted photo is from Whatsapp, i am not sure whether it was from the Peoples Daily)


(Notes no.2 


 Its not important whether the message was from the Peoples Daily or not.  Important is the sudden flooding of such selfish philosophy for the last few years. There must be thousands and thousands of them.  Where is the power center to release them? What is the secret plan for them? I had tried to publish some of my stories hoping to search the mind of the Chinese culture, and found it is almost impossible. Yet the bad ideas were so easy and so many like raining. The Chinese mind is strictly controlled not by the Chinese themselves, but a secret network of evil powers. They are using an iron hand to mold a solid mind of selfishness for the Chinese people.


*

Another example of the 'Golden Verses'  ( see no. 9 )  and I wonder why there is no one in the higher circles to utter a sound in this matter.  Aren't they learned officers and scholars?


Why they are not concerned??

Why Nuclear is not an Option and Why China is Chosen?

 9396  Why Nuclear is not an Option and Why China is Chosen?  20221013





It is because every sensible people knows it well that anyone on earth is closely monitored.  You never know how close you are monitored. And you will never see how clear your picture is on the screen of your enemy.  And you're perfectly aimed at. The Russians must have known it well before I say anything.


The scenario will be like this:- 


If the Russians tried to throw the first nuclear weapon and, before that weapon is thrown, 1000 or more US nuclear bombs will be the first to arrive the land of Russia and Russia will be totally ruined. 


However, the opposite will be also true.  No one will know what kind of secret weapons the Russians have prepared.  One or two Russian made nuclear weapons will be on the heads of the United States.  Only one or two cities will be destroyed.


The outcome will be slow yet it is sure that final recession will come to visit the United States.  The United States will be completely destroyed by the collapse of the economic system but not the bombs.


In such a situation, the Russians must have known it well that China will not be joining in the nuclear war, though it is sure that China will come to help afterwards and the help will not be of any use by then.


What is the scenario after this?


There will be only two superpowers on this planet by then.  


One is China. The other is Israel.


Israel people are smart and strong.  It was said and believed that they were a chosen nation.


No one has said that China is also chosen except me.  There is a proof for this.  There is an unknown map for the soul of human and the map is a knowledge about the flowing of Qi and their locations in ancient China.  The meridian points were an unknown source of health knowledge and it was coming from nowhere. Now people believed that the meridians were more than a knowledge of health. It is a communication network between humans. It could be a communication network to the unknown. It could be a circulation system to direct the thoughts. Not many people would believe it yet experiments and new findings are many in China. 


Why are the Chinese given this tool to fathom the soul of humans?  Why are they chosen for this special job?  


China is another chosen nation. The job is for the preparation of the next stage of human evolution. It will be the evolution of mind and humans need to know something more about themselves. 


The Chinese were chosen to be equipped with a certain knowledge which is not like the Western medical science which is the result of anatomy and study. The meridian networks were there from an unknown source. It may not be the finding left behind from the ancient talents. It is not proven to be the study result of humans. 


There will be only two chosen nations on this planet if the nuclear war is finished. Someone will be delighted to see that the United States is also ruined or else the new scene will not have emerged. 


Israel will be a new nation not of Jews but Christians by then. Because the deep-rooted Christian mind could not be faded out by the fall of the Empires, it must be reborn through another brilliant Empire like Israel.  

 

            X   X   X


We can be relaxed because all of the above will not happen as the nuclear crisis will be over soon.


The Three Giants like Russia, China and the United States will stand side by side for some time in History.


They will not fight each other, or to put it more directly, they simply cannot fight each other. The world will change gradually without a painful and confrontation in blood.


And to describe the situation, I had written a new song for it. 


         x   x   x


That the mountains need not to be very high

When the Angels are dwelling there. 

That the waters need not to be very deep 

When the Dragons are ruling there. 

That the rooms need not be a luxury

When you have a mind and feedbacks. 


See how the branches climb up the window and brought in the green

See how the Sun puts red flames on the flower and 

how the flower create shadows on the ground


See how the couples with love in their thousands of ages in the cloud

See how they sing new songs with the old piano

There is music in the ear always

See how they dance to the steps like on stage


Friends from afar would smile and send a message 

Well, you are dancing and singing in happiness of heavens. 



............

Do you like me to sing for you?


山不在高

有仙則名

水不在深

有龍則靈

人在陋室

有心則應


嫩苗攀窗綠上枝

日曬花紅花散影

香江愚夫婦

千載白雲情


間或彈舊琴,唱新聲

絲竹常入耳

踏步有台型


知己會心笑

域外寄叮嚀


鳳舞行歌

Police made a prologue for me

I met another policeman in Indonesia.  And it was interesting too.

 I play the violin on the street again.  

This is another street violin story. It was not in the street market I just mentioned.  It was another area. 

Another policeman came to intervene.  He told me to pack up and leave.  I left the place unwillingly.

 I kept looking around for another place to play. Soon I have found another one.  I opened  the violin case to play again. 

Unexpectedly, the police turned out to be following me.  He came forward and said it was not okay here too.  So I had to go again to find another place.  

It looked  like a church or some kind of a venue.  There were several stone steps, like a small stage.  I am very happy.  Opened the  case again.  I was ready to play.  Unexpectedly, the police were still following.  He came up and told me.  It's alright for this place, you can play now. 

 I am very happy to thank him.  He turned around to the watching crowd, he said some words in Indonesian language, seemed like saying a prologue for me, though I  didn't know what he said.  Then he left.  He let me play.  Not interferring anymore.  

The audience's reaction was also good.  I played for a while. 

Suddenly, a woman who looked like a rich lady stepped forward.  She asked me in English where do I live.  I  didn't want to tell her I was staying in a good hotel. I stuttered for a while.  she asked me again.  She said, if you had  lost your wallet and air ticket, with this little money you had made today, do you have enough money to go home?

I'm a little confused. 

It turns out that this is what the police told the masses just minutes ago.  The police told the crowd that the man was in a poor condition.  His  was robbed.  He has got no  money and no air tickets to return to Hong Kong. He had to stay in Indonesia.  He can't go back. Then I realized why the audience reacted so strongly. 

The rich lady has a good heart.  She said she would take me back to the hotel by her car.  I said no.  She asked me how can I go back. She will  call a taxi for me.  I said I can walk on two legs.  An hour or two is nothing.  And then I came to undersatnd that it is dangerous to walk. No one walks.  There will be robbers waiting for you if you walk.

 When the lady heard that I am going to walk home, she has become very concerned and even nervous.  It seemed like she was going to buy a plane ticket for me right away and send me back to Hong Kong.  I explain everything.  Then she seemed to understand a little.

 It was another  precious lesson for me. And I did have a wonderful time.





還有另外的一個警察。也是十分有趣。

我在街上彈琴。不是剛才說的街市。而是另外的一個區域。又有一個警察前來干涉。叫我收拾東西離開。

我只好收拾東西走。一邊走一邊左右張望。看有沒有其他地方可以彈得。

走到另外一處停下來。打開琴又想再彈。不料那警察原來是在跟蹤我。他上前來說這裏也不行。

我於是只好又走。再找到一個地方。好像是一個教堂。還是一個會場那樣。有幾個石階。我站上去好像一個小舞臺。心中高興得很。又再打開琴盒。準備彈琴。

不料那警察仍然在跟著。他上來對我說。這裏可以了,你就在這裏彈吧。

我當然十分高興謝他。

他掉轉身來。對圍上來觀看的群眾,用印尼話說了好幾句話,也不知他説甚麼,似乎是一段開場白。然後他就走了。任得我彈。也不再理我了。觀眾的反應也不錯。

我彈了好一會。

忽然間有一個貴婦模樣的女人走上前來。用英語問我你住哪裏。

我也不想告訴她住在酒店。結結巴巴了好一會。她又問我。你既然失去了錢包。又沒有了機票。今天你賺的這點點錢。夠錢回家去嗎。

我有點不明白。

原來這就是剛才警察對群眾所說的話。

警察對群眾說。這個人很可憐。他的錢包給人搶了。又沒有了機票。只好流落印尼。回不了香港。

我這才知道為什麼觀眾反應這麼激烈。

這個貴婦人心腸很好。她說要用車送我回酒店。我說不用了。她問我怎樣走。要不要為我叫計程車。我說我兩條腿走路就可以了。一兩個小時不算什麼。

原來印尼那邊。是沒有人走路的。一定會碰見劫匪。那貴婦聽我這樣說。更加緊張。好像立刻就要為我買機票送我回香港那樣。我千般解釋。他才好像明白了。

回想起來,真是人生寶貴的一課。

How dare you play the violin?

 

A joke.  

Will you dare to be a beggar? You  stand on the street.  And you started to sing.  Loudly to everyone. You will  afraid of nothing.

It needs a little courage. You are not afraid to show your ugly side. You want nothing,  only thinking about that song, nothing in your  heart.

 My violin is self-taught, I am always a beginner.  How can you dare?  

But this guy finally dared  to beg.

I was begging from Hong Kong to foreign countries.  

 Every time I played the violin in Causeway Bay, police intervened.  And hooligans.

 Actually  I'm not brave enough.  I am just not afraid of being ugly.  There is nothing else in my mind.

One time I played the violin on the streets of Indonesia.

 One policeman  intervened . 

 Said that you can't play the violin here.  I had to go.  But the police said.  I'll take you to a place to play.  Just follow me. 

It turned out that the police took me into a street market.  There are many hawkers and stalls in the street market.  One of the stalls was his own.  He removed the things from the stall.  He let me play in that stall.


 I've never played violin inside a street market. I had to bite the bullet.  I could only open the violin case.  I  pulled the first sound.

Suddenly the whole market was silent. Wow, what a moment.  It turned out that silence was so terrifying.  Do I still have the courage to go on?  Dare I?

 I took a breath and closed my eyes to start. I played the first note.

After five minutes.  The market returned to its normal noise. 

People were chatting and laughing loudly again.  The sound was as usual.  The clamor is back.  My violin is caught in it.  It doesn't sound too bad to mix up music with the noise here.

Indonesians are not rich.  But that day I went home and counted.  There was a lot of money thrown in the violin case.  

Some of the folks speak English. They talked with me for a long time.  It's a good time that I've never had before.

It took me a few years to understand the lesson.

And a little more about the ending.  I played in the market for more than one hour.  I was  tired, so I packed and leave.

I saw that the police was still directing traffic.  I suddenly wanted to weep.  How can there be such a good person in this world?

Actually there is.  But by that time, I can only say thank you to the policeman.

I will never forget the moment for the rest of my life.

I am  grateful for the opportunity he had given me.



一句笑話。你敢像乞丐那樣。隨便在街頭一站。便引亢高歌。一點都不害怕。一往無前。這種勇氣。不衹是不怕醜。只想著那首歌,心中甚麼都沒有。我的小提琴全是自學,只有九流水準。怎麼有這膽子獻醜?但也總算在街頭彈琴乞錢。從香港乞到外國。膽子也練得大了。

在香港銅鑼灣。每次拉琴都有警察來干涉。還有流氓。你說我的膽子大不大。衹是不怕醜。心中並無其他。

笑話很多。

有一次在印尼街頭彈小提琴。警察來干涉。說這裏不可以彈琴。我只好只好收拾。但警察說。我帶你到一個地方彈。只好跟著警察行。原來警察帶我進入一個街市。街市裏有很多小販和攤檔。其中有一個攤檔是他自己的。他搬開了攤檔的雜物。就讓我在那攤檔中彈琴。

我從來沒有在街市中彈過琴的。只好硬著頭皮。打開琴盒。拉響了第一聲。

忽然之間。整個街市都靜下來了。烏鴉不得了。原來靜是這樣可怕的。我還有勇氣嗎。我敢嗎?

那就叫做欲罷不能。只好吸一口氣,閉上眼睛彈下去。

五分鐘之後。街市才回復往常的光陰。人們又高聲談笑。聲響像平時一樣。叫賣聲都回來了。我的琴音夾在其中。也不覺得特別難聽了。

印尼的人並不富裕。但那天我回家一數。琴盒中人家扔來的錢也不少。也有人懂英文的。前來和我談很久。真是從來沒有遇過的好光陰。

這件事,要在數年後的今天,我才明白。 

總該是要有點遭遇,才會知道的。

還有一點尾聲。我在街市彈琴一個多小時。人也累了,便收拾離開。

出到外面。見到那警察仍在指揮交通。我忽然之間想哭。心想世間怎會有這樣的好人。

其實是有的。但那天。我衹能很誠懇地對那警察說一聲謝謝你。

這一個瞬間。我一輩子不會忘記。

我永遠感謝他給我的機會。

Second Spring

 



Seventy is the beginning of the second spring of life.

  It doesn't mean that you are looking for a new girlfriend.  Rather, it asks you to open up a new area of ​​your mind.  

This is what God told us to do. 

 You were originally a writer. And you have traveled decades in the field of literature.  Now maybe you will become a scientist.  You will open a new area of ​​the brain.  And by this time,  you no longer have to care about your love affair etc., you can concentrate more on the Universe in your work.  You may be a scientist.  Possibly a calligrapher.  Or a singer. 

 Your realm is limitless. As the brain is a huge land  waiting for a traveller.   When you are breaking into a  new place, you are creating a new phrase.  

Your health will be perfect.  You will have extra energy from the new  job.

  It may take twenty years to open a new field in your life.  Or you may need forty years.  It doesn't matter how many years.

  Who cares?

  Development is what matters.  You will not leave this world empty-handed.  Because you have achieved something.  

To me, planting a tree is such a high ideal.  I might just be planting grass.  Plant a small grass in the back hill. 

 I shall not be leaving empty-handed with that little shadow of grass in my mind.

I am happy.  I know that the one above is happy with me.





七十歲是人生第二春的開始。這意思不是叫你找一個新的女朋友。而是叫你開拓腦中的一個新領域。這是上天叫我們這樣做的。你本來是一個文學家。文學的領域你已經走了幾十年。現在可能你會變成為一個科學家。重新開拓一個新的腦中的領域。而且這一個時間。你已經不再需要顧及什麼男女事情了。更加可以專心做好你的事。你可能是一個科學家。也可能是一個書法家。或者一個歌唱家。你的領域是無限的。當你開拓新領域的時候。你的健康也隨即會好起來。開拓一個新領域。可能需要二十年。或者四十年。多少年是不重要的。管他呢。開拓才是重要的。你不會手空空離開這個世界。因為你已經有所建樹。對於我來說。種一棵樹真是太高的理想。我可能衹是種草。在後山裏栽植一棵小草。我也有所建草呢。

Where is Your Neck?

 




9392  Where is your neck?  20221003


This is the worst side-kick strategy one could find in recent politics.


Football players are not looking for the ball, but ankles.  Whenever they have the chance to break the ankles of the enemies, they will do it.


They must have forgotten that the enemies will be angry and will seek every chance to break your neck in return. Then the football game is not football game anymore.  It is a tasteless game to watch.

 

And we must remember that we are not in ancient history. We are in a modern world. Seldom can anyone totally destroy the enemy and kill every member of the other country. If you cannot eliminate your enemy, you can only try to live with them. Or to coexist with them, and then try your every best to 'contain' their achievement. That meant a balance is needed. 


In the ancient times one can totally wipe out another nation. But now you simply can't. This is a simple thing to understand. Its better to avoid your neck being broken by your enemy before you try to break the ankles with a side-kick.


The blowing up of the Nord Streams is a side-kick.


The United States has been successful for a long time to eliminate determination of the Chinese to join the Russians to fight against NATO and the States. But the determination cannot last forever once the situation has become not controllable and when the Chinese had found everything is not acceptable for them, things will change.


If you have broken the ankle of your enemy, your enemy will try to break your neck in return.


And where is my neck?


It is a dangerous situation if you do not realize where is the danger.


The neck is not in the stars.  Though the Americans had made a net of satellites flying above the globe perfectly.


And the neck is not in the internet which has become the identification of everyone on earth. You can detect any one of them and have them eliminated if you like. 


Humans are living in a net of their daily life and watched by a net from the sky.


Humans are not anonymous. Everyone is not unknown.  Everyone has a number.  Everyone is identified.  No matter what you are, when you go or where you fly.  Humans are not free anymore.


And the question remains:  Where is the neck of the net?


China and Russia has never tried to hit the weak points of the United States.  They have been restraining for a long time.


Have they been trying to overthrow the Government of the United States?  The answer is no.  But there is no guarantee when the rules of the ball games are  destroyed.  


Maybe one day when people found all are not acceptable and they will be willing to find a way to settle themselves.


The Russians and the Chinese have not been trying to wake up the awareness of the United States people to fight for their own fate.


Muslims and Christians have not been trying to call for the wake up of the minds of the people though many of the people of the United States have been suffering since they were slaves. 


To blow up the Nord Streams is a kind of so-called 'Asymmetric Strategy'.  Though the term is  frightening, yet it is only a side-kick.  And when people are engaged in this mindset, they will easily lose their mind.  They will not be awared of the destination of their goal anymore.  They will  forget where they are going. 


The side-kick is a wakeup call.  They will blow up something else tomorrow.


When a wolf is trying to sharpen his claws and its teeth every day, the wolf might not be awared that the determining factor of winning is not in the claws and teeth, but in the total performance of a mind.


Side-kick policy is for losers only.

What is the use of Qi (part 2 plus) 20220925

 9391 What is the use of Qi (part 2)  20220925



The use of Qi could be wide and even limitless. 

I had been doing the swing of arms since I was twenty something. I study the Meridian Points only recently. I tried to remember their names in Chinese and their locations. There were a basic of 12 lines of them plus the two front and back lines, there were a total of 14 lines to cover the whole body. 

It was said the 12 lines which cover the whole body is the grand circle, and the other front and back line is the small circle. To me, the small circle seemed to be the tree trunk and its roots, while the grand circle leaves. 

Every morning after a bath, I would use my fingers to follow the points and remember hard their names. 

I felt comfortable and in good spirit at first. 

However, my wife told me my long time sleeping apnea syndrome were disappeared. 

It was due to the blocking of my left side nostril inflations by night that I could not breathe well and was making a huge snore and more frightening were the sudden stop of the snore from time to time, it seemed that I was suffocated by then. 

My wife kept warning me about this and urged me to check it up. And the snoring was stopped by my morning massage of the Meridian points. I was sleeping well without the threat of suffocation anymore.  I was in high spirits in those days. I noticed that it might be due to the flow of Qi in the left side of my head and felt that the Qi must have some power to govern the blood vessels not letting them to swell up and block the noses. 

And I am too happy to notice that my spirit was so high that I could not sleep by night for one whole year. 

There was no snoring, and no sleeping. 

What happened?

I knew that the Qi could be too strong and was staying in my head that made me awaken all time.  

How am I to put them down?

I thought of swimming.

I think the flow of water must have some effect on the Qi and might bring them away. 

However it was due to the Covid-19 virus that all swimming places were closed, including all the beaches. I could only sneak into the piers to swim. 

Swimming did help a little. I could sleep again. And I thought my theory was right. Water flow could bring away the Qi. It was not healthy for elder person to swim. As the water would wash away their Qi. 

And if the Qi were too strong, how am I to control them?  

It forced me to think and try. Later I had discovered a method to guide the Qi to the ground and the problem was gone and I can sleep well without snoring.  The method was from a Taiwanese master of Qi, the knees must bend twice for every five swinging of the arms. 

And it was important that the Qi could be guided according to the will of a mind. The Qi could be lead downward to the ground with a little bending of the knees, or more importantly, the will of a mind. 

The Qi could flow from your finger to the next person's acupuncture points and it is the basic of healing. 

And this could be the study of a grand medical science. 

Traditional science believes that blood flow is powered by the heart only. And now we have any other power besides the pumping of the heart.   And strokes are not only the causes of the vessels. If you can manage your Qi,   You can have a better heart and a better brain.  Many of the strokes can be avoided.  I hope scientists could put more effort  to study this oriental ancient findings of Qi.

It is very important and more important is the next issue here. 



(Another important issue    about Qi

..... the activation magic)



Qi is more than the healing power to move the flow of blood in your body. 

Qi could be the activation power to waken up unused cells in your brain and guide your attention to another field of study and make you a new person.

For example, if you are a successful writer and at the age of 70 and suddenly you have found your attention has changed from literature to music and you could be a musician more than a writer and you have found you have a newer body and newer brain to support your work as a music person because you have been given new energy as a musician and lots of works need you to fulfill and you are young like that you are only 30, not 70. 


(Activation of a New life by Qi)


Activation of unknown cells in the brain could lead to a newer life. 

And it could be the next chapter of human evolution. 

All humans could be like that and all humans could have another 40 years or more for their life. It was due to the activation of brain cells that could bring in new health and new life. 

It is important to have new interest in your eyes, and, you need to have that Qi to activate your interest and your brain cells. 

And this might not be the imagination of a certain fiction writer as it could be true. 

What you need is an new insight and a very strong Qi.

And you would be happy to forget all the fights and upsets in daily human stupidness and you could see a new world ahead of the darkness.

What is the use of Qi (part 1)

 9390   What is the use of Qi ?  20220910


1.    Basic Possibilities  and the Europeans


At first, I thought it was only some kind of healing power.  I can heal some simple diseases with Qi.   However I guess that is more than a healing power.  It might be a much more complicated and useful power than healing.  It could be the next step of human evolution. If humans had mastered Qi power, every thing will be changed. The first successful country using Qi will be rich, and strong. When the world has mastered the Qi, the world will be in another level of human wisdom. 


There is a news that the Queen of England has just died. It seems lots of people are sad losing her. People were just feeling confused in this chaotic world.  One question suddenly emerged from my mind, where would the Europeans go from now on? 


Things seemed not working well anymore like the old days.


Can the Europeans find a way out?  It’s almost impossible for them if they are to continue their old mindset. They are looking at the economy and politics so hard that they must have lost the stamina to research for something new.


2.   A new science is needed


They might not be aware

that the old forms of science is the obstruction to a new eyesight, not to mention the place they put themselves…..somewhere between the United States and Russia. Can they forget the old concepts? Can they rely on their own effort and not to be the subordinates of the US? I hope they would have an answer sooner from their younger generation.


Qi is not a thing that can give us a new vision, but the way to look at Qi can lead to a new angle to see things. It is not same as the so-called scientific method.



Older concepts are always trying to compare Qi with electricity, the thought is only about another source of unknown energy.  But it’s more than that.    


3.   Next possibilities

    ( Awareness)


If you can mastered Qi, you might have the power to foresee.  You will have the power to aware different situations around you.   You will be able to sense what is happening nearby. You will know the danger around you. Because Qi is like a connecting power between your internal self and the external world. If someone is planning to kill you and he is standing infront of you, and if you cannot sense anything out of the situation, you might be in danger. Its best to use your nose before your eyes. It meant to stay alert in the Qi field and use your senses.   


Martin Luther King and John Lennon had that feeling.  They kept saying  someone was trying to kill them before they got killed.  They are smart people though they might not had known the Qi was flowing inside their body. They must have some foreseeing power, but they didn’t know how to use it.


I wish to note down my own experience about Qi. I will start from my experience of the healing power and I might discuss about some very strange feeling I had encountered later. I didnt know whether it is too early to write about them, but I think in a sincere circle of friends, people will have some stimulation in their own study. 




4. How did I discovered Qi



I am now 74 years old.  And it happened when I was twenty years something.


I had had a bad stomach.  It was always painful after eating.  The worst time was that I could not sit up from my bed, nor to stand on the floor.  I had tried many medicines, and they were useless.


One of my good friend told me to try a little sport, that was actually not a sport at all.  You need only to stand up to swing your arms, repeating it back and fore for ten minutes.  He told me this sport could help my diaphragm to go up and down, helping my stomach to digest in such a way.


I tried that for a while  and my stomach problem was gone.  I did not  realize the real result of the exercise, I just found it happy to have the stomach ache gone.


 I was a scriptwriter for the TV station later.  That was a hard labour actually.  I need to write non-stop for a long time. And my stomach started to protest again.  I tried the swinging method.  I can start working after a meal immediately if I had done ten minutes to swing my arms.  It was so useful that I did not stop the habit of swinging my arms for the next 50 years.   I am an experienced arm swinging expert now.   And the most important thing I have found is that there will be air from the stomach going out like a belching sound.  Whenever I heard I was belching,  I would know that my stomach is in motion.  It’s very comfortable feeling like you just had a hearty meal. It was after a long time that I’ve found the belching is a signal to tell me whether there is Qi or not.


5.   The belching sound


Qi is quiet and unnoticeable.  You will not notice Qi is there or not.   But when the Qi is aroused,  your stomach and your intestines will have a feeling and they would move or squeeze a little, it was at this time the belching alarm would make a noise and you would know there is Qi and the Qi is the cause of some internal movement in your stomach. 


How can you prove that there is Qi when the sound comes?


6.   To rub with a towel


First I would like to tell you how I discovered Qi by pulling a towel over my body.


At first, it seemed to have nothing to do with Qi when I discovered a method to heal my Athletes Foot problem by using a towel.


I was a keen swimmer when I was 13 and soon I had had Athlete’s foot. It was bacteria or mildew developing inside the gaps of my toes. I had applied different medication and the germ will return after it was healed a short while. 


Doctors told me that it was the spore which is like very tiny seeds of the bacteria which was staying inside the skin and they would grow again in suitable warmth and humid situations. Can I keep my feet dry without sweat every minute of the day? I tried to use a towel to rub the gaps by pulling the towel up and down the gaps. Though I can do it only once a day and I cannot keep my feet dry all day. However, the bacterias and their spores had left me.  


I did not think it was Qi helping me. But I have never stop using a towel to rub my feet every night for the next 60 years. (* I did the rubbing since I got married and I was 30 years something by then. So the counting should be 40.  I rubbed my feet for the next 40 years only.) I had been swinging for 50 years plus rubbing for 40 years. And of course, though my problems are gone almost forever, the special healing power was more obvious when I discovered that rubbings can prevent Hernia also.


7. The Hernia experience.


Hernia is a nightmare for man.  My father had got it, and later when I was married, I saw how my father-in-law had suffered also. Tissues in the external walls of the abdomen were weak and the intestines would break throw the tissues in the groin and enter the scrotum.  I had to summon ambulance to send my father-in-law to hospital in an urgent situation when it happened.  It was a great pain when the small intestine escapes into the scrotum. 


I was forty or fifty years by then.  And I had pondered that for a long time. How can an aged old man avoid such painful happening?


I tried to use a towel to rub the groin area between my legs one day. 


Suddenly I heard a sound from my stomach.  That was the belching sound.  It told me that it works. 


 I realized that the Qi is there if you rub into the right acupuncture points. So I am doing that every night after bathing.  I do not know whether the Hernia will visit me when I was older, though it is ok until now.


8.   Meridians


I started to study Acupuncture points and Meridians afterwards.   I tried to memorize their locations and their names. It was not easy, but I keep on trying.  Soon they were familiar to me.  When I pressed other peoples acupuncture points,  it's strange that I have a feeling inside my stomach and will have belching sound if the point is correctly pressed.  It seems to be an indicator of healing locations. And I did not know whether my Qi will be lost into other people's body through the points. At the very beginning. I felt weak afterwards.  And I need to recover for a long time for my Qi to come back.  Afterwards, I have discovered some method  to replenish Qi from the nature. Now it seems to be better.


I have tried to heal my friend who was in his dying bed.  I had permission from his wife and daughter.  I massaged for him every day.  However, his doctor said his brain was dead. He ordered to remove his kidney dialysis machine. I had worked one month for him before that. He died two days after the machine was removed.




*****

What I have been writing here seemed to be too long.


I need to discuss more next time.


One is how to summon Qi

(and its requirements)


Two is the relation of Qi

 between different people


Three is the connection of Qi and other living things, eg. A tree


Four other possibility of Qi, eg. The higher form of Qi

Why evolution is not everything?

 (9389)


If you can find out one thing which is not evolved,  and that can prove evolution is not everything.

Humans had long forgotten about Fabre and his finding.(please refer to the story listed behind)

It might not be the proof that evolution theory was wrong.

But it suggested that evolution theory does not cover all the rules of this Universe.

There might be a designed plan for us all.  We could be made by a process of evolution PLUS (?) a pre-meditated plan.

It is strange but it might be true.

And it could change our thinking pattern if we can think deeply. 

You will think more regarding your own role in this Universe or, something far beyond that.




An old story......


Let us think  



(the following story was machine translated)

The story of Jean-Henri Casimir Fabre (1823-1915) is shocking, the mystery he posed is  amazing, however,  a hundred years has lapsed,  mankind still seems to have not found the answer.  And people began to forget the issue. Though it seems that we shouldn't have forgotten it. 


 Fabre is a self-taught entomologist.  His research started with a tiny wasp.  He discovered a puzzling chain of facts.  Wasps themselves do not eat meat, only the sap of flowers.  However, wasp larvae eat meat.  How do wasps feed their larvae?  In fact, wasps have never seen their own larvae.  Wasps will find a small hole to lay their eggs, and then put some still alive crickets, unicorns, or spiders in the hole. They are alive and not dead.  Although these insects were not dead, all of them had their ganglia stinged by wasps and could not move.  Just can't move, but the body function is normal, so it can keep fresh and let the newly hatched wasp larvae eat happily.  



 It was once thought that the sting of the wasp has an antiseptic effect, so that the stinged insects can keep fresh.  However, Fabre discovered that these undead insects were only stinged by the wasps in the ganglia of the joints of the limbs, just like the acupuncture points in the martial arts novels, only the limbs could not move, but all other functions were normal.



 The question is, how can the wasp's acupuncture skills be so powerful?  



 One of the wasps' favorite foods is the kangaroo spider.  This marsupial has two important ganglia.  One directs the movement of the limbs, and the other directs the opening and closing of the fangs.  Both of them were stabbed by the string.  As for the cricket, there are three important ganglia, and all three are hit.  The cricket could only stare blankly at itself being eaten.  



 A bit like parents who are going away.  They told their children, "Mom and dad are going out for a few months. A cow has been reserved for you, and you can eat fresh beef every day. Don't be scarced, this cow's nervous system has been injected with anesthesia and cannot move , your beef will be fresh and will not be rotten.....”



 What is even more strange is that the larvae of the wasp actually keep not eatting the most important part of the insect, eating only the edges of the internal organs, and save the heart part for the last to eat.  In this way, the insects may stay alive, keep the meat fresh, and keep the wasp larvae from eating to adulthood.


 Where did the wasp's growth equation come from?  Where did the wasps get their secret tricks for burrowing?  Is it "evolution"  or " a plan"?

What is the real success of the Chinese people?

 9388  What is the real success of the Chinese people?   20220815


Hard working is not the only success reason of the Chinese people. 

 

The success of the Chinese people is from their own thinking pattern.  And the pattern is from the language design. They have a perfect language system which uses the right sphere of the brain.


The Chinese uses a very special method to help thinking with  their language which is not like the spelling language which limits the thinking process inside the left hemisphere of the brain.   Chinese people are right-side-oriented thinking people.   Their thinking process is holistic.  People who can write Chinese poems understand it more.  The thoughts and images are flowing around and not limited by simple logics.  Sometimes it seems not logical, but reaches to the inner reality of facts. 


It is this language which is the core feeling of ALL Chinese including both sides of the Taiwan Strait.


To use language as a tactic is the best way to unite people from the two sides.


It’s not necessary to use blood and weapons to unite the people.  


The central core interests of the thinking pattern will do the job.


It needs no blood to return to the traditional way of Chinese writing.

 

The Chinese people  can type and read with the Chinese language faster than most of the spelling languages.  And this is not the only advantage of the Chinese language.  The thinking pattern can bring them to the future science revolution and achieve much more,  if they are smart enough not to fall into the traps of the modern political turmoils.



P.S.  to talk with Biden is helpless in solving the Strait problems. It could be more helpful if the Chinese can talk with Russians  instead.

How to see it more clearly ?

 9387  How to see it more clearly  20220815 

 

No one can be absolutely clear about his own situation.  It was always like a fish tank he was in.


There are so many obstacles.  And so many unclear issues. And so many disguised persons. They are always trying to lead you astray. It is you yourself always need to see. You need to listen to your own mind. Rather, to the advisers.


How can I see clearly about the fish tank?

 

It is like the other guy  who is watching you outside the fish tank.


He is so clear about your own situation.  He knows where you’re going. He knows your intention.  He can beat you anytime, if he likes.


BECAUSE he is in an upper level. 


Things will be very clear from the view of an upper level.


It’s just like watching the lower level fish tank.


And now we have the six concepts here.


It seems it is more than one level upper.


It could be many levels other than your present one.


It could be a future goal of the human beings.


If you have such a goal in mind, you will go up one level easier. All because you are not  selfish,  and you’re not seeing with your own eyes.


This is the basic of the Zhuang-Zi Art of War.

Why you can be relaxed ?

        (9385   Why you can be        relaxed  20220811)


It is because humans are in a sure-win situation.

It is not that anyone will win.  There will be always winners and losers.  Countries can be  defeated, nations can be destroyed.  Yet  humans are in a sure win situation.

No matter who wins or who loses, the final outcome will be  same:- 

Humans will be really wise. They will be wisdom-driven. None of them will be selfish.

You can be relaxed. Because you know even though you’re  defeated but you will not die. 

Because life is  mind, and all minds are connected. You will be there until future. You will witness the future outcome.

Countries and heroes come and go. When everyone thinks he is in the positive side and  simply cannot afford to lose, he will be nervous.  Maybe he can be relaxed for a while to accept the coming failure and the final good ending.

When people are in a mind position like this, he will think twice for his choice, and have a better chance to win.

6 New Concepts for a great future .....

 9383      6 New  Concepts     20220804



Concept 1

    (Wisdom-driven future)


Humans are moving into a wisdom-oriented future.  The money-oriented past will be  history.  It is due to the results of human  evolution.


Concept 2

          ( Evolving Internally)


Most of the  external human evolution has been completed.  We will not have more limbs or wings, etc.

We will be evolving internally.  Our mind abilities will be improved.  We will be linked up through our minds.  Our minds can reach to others.   We are not a lonely and single unit  anymore.


Concept 3

         (Cooperation is great)


Humans will be moving into a new era of cooperation.   The evolution of minds  makes the way for human cooperation.


Concept 4

       (Life is mind)


The external of life is  a tool of our mind.  Life is internal. Life is a linked-up  connection.   Life is mind.


Concept 5

       (You will not die)


The perception of mind  will be much longer than expected.  Older concept was about the span of life.  Human life was expected no more than a hundred years something.  The perception about a mind is much longer.  The  perception comes from the concern.  If the concern of the mind is for the wellbeing of future,  then the concern will be  thousands and millions of years.  If you have a concern like this,  you will have a mind like this.  If you have a mind like this,  you will not die.


Concept 6

       (No one is selfish)


Evolution is a long procession.  Some people are evolved much faster.  They can walk in two legs earlier.  Some other people can not be evolved  like them,  they need to walk in four limbs for a very long period  until one day  all  will be evolved into a 2-leg species.

There will still be money-oriented people.  The time will definitely come when all people are wisdom-oriented. No one will be selfish in the future.





............With the help of these concepts,  it is very clear to observe our present situation and it is easier to know what to do.

How Do We Estimate Our Time and the Country of China ?

 


9382 How Do We Estimate Our Time and the Country of China               20220719


                                                     


We are living in a good time now. Human beings will be living as a grand being more than separated individuals. To compare with the money-oriented past, humans will be living in a wisdom-oriented future. It will be a status of true love. Humans need not to kill each other to survive, they will co-operate. They are leaving the historical dark ages and going to a brighter future. 

It is because humans had found a better way to live.  Humans had evolved into a  cooperation status.  Thinking pattern has changed.



Natural evolution has made human beings wise.  And evolution has made their bodies changed. They are developing inner connections between themselves.


Humans had entered the age of socialism since the end of world war II.

When we estimate this special period of human history, we are looking at trends, not  countries. We need to know where would we be going.

Humans were riding on a machine, it seems to be flying now.

It is like the first flying airplane ever invented. 

It's not  perfect for airplanes. It's far from perfect. But it's the first flying machine. It can fly. All other machines cannot fly, except this one. It is not the performance of  a single country, but a trend of our time.  We are in the form of lonely individuals no more.  We are living in the form of a wise cooperation.  We are living in the form of one. 

By the time of a cooperation period, one of the major concern is China.

China is merely one of the early models of it.


It could be the process of history. And it could be the process of evolution. Humans must be in the upper ladder of evolution now. It's just like climbing the stairs. They need a strength to go up.  It is not easy. It is hard work. But it does worth to try.


In the process of evolution, humans will develop many skills never seen before. They can read other people's mind. They can listen other people's inner voice. They will cooperate in a higher form of existence. They will use less language. They will use more inner  communications. Humans are not individuals anymore. They will have more inner strength. They will not rely on external force like the old times. They will solve  problems between countries with an inner communication method.  They need no more wars,  as they are communicative internally. 

It will happen within the next 1000 years.  Don't worry that you're not there to witness the change. Because if we are one, our perception about life is different. There will be a deep concern for anyone of us to consider about the well being of humans 1000 years later. Our perceptions about life in the old days are short,  life was a short span around one hundred or so . And now  our perception about life is long. We are thinking about a grand phenomenon of the humans. Anyone will have a  different vision now,  if he is willing to pick up that vision.

Do I need such  perception  to think in terms of a total being?   Yes,  It helps a lot. It helps one to be happy and healthy. You will live longer than others. If you can conceive that you are one of the whole, your concern have reached to the grand universe. You have the eyesight of a universe being. You will fear nothing.  And you are free.

We are leaving the ugly old days now.  We are not money-oriented anymore.  In the old time, one will need to fight for his own survival. That was the need for individuals, or families. And in the upper level of our life, we are not money-oriented anymore. Money  was the origin of sin in the past.   And actually,  money is not sin,  we cannot say that was a sin.  Humans were just like lonely tigers, they need to survive to act like a fierce  individual beast.  Now we are wisdom-oriented.  We need not to be selfish anymore.

You may ask why are there so many selfish people still?  All we need is to remember one thing: That we are on an up hill travel. We are on a flying airplane like the one human first invented. It can fly. It can fall. It is not perfect. It needs our effort to work on it. 

During the course of evolution, there must be someone going faster in two legs. There must be some people who couldn't do that. They can only walk in legs plus hands.  And there will be a day no one will be walking in four limbs.  That is called  evolution.  No one is selfish in the future.


And it is not the same old fashion airplane we had.  Future people need  more socialist countries. There will be better and better socialist countries in the future.

We will be loving each other more than before.  Because we had parted with the past. And we are entering a future of wisdom-oriented  history. 

For the time being, China the socialist country is far from perfect. They are still walking in 4 limbs sometimes. But the time will come.  There will be a time when all are walking in 2 legs. And there will be no selfish  people.  Everyone will be honest.  It won't be long.

If anyone can perceive this, he can have a perception of  Millenniums. He will join the mind of the grand being. He will not die.

Which Country Will be Leader of the World? (revised)

 9381  Which country will be leader of the world?       20220713


All because of a sudden death of a young man whom I knew that the question was raised. 

He is not Chinese, and to avoid unnecessary guess,  I will not talk about his nationality. It is not important. 

He was rich, and young. He came to Hong Kong according to family arrangement. He worked for a famous bank and was earning huge money at his early young age. He was only twenty something. His family meant to let him work in Singapore, but he chose Hong Kong.    

He died suddenly by falling from a high building roof-top private garden. I believe he was not suicide. He was drinking with his girlfriend in the house. Several wine bottle was left on the table. It was believed that he was on drug at the moment when he fell. A few drugs were found in the house later. His girl friend was staying in the house and he was alone on the roof-top. 

Why did he go up the roof top? 

Maybe he felt hot or he had a fancy of something. 

The point is the aim of life. He has got the things most people wanted. He has got a girlfriend, sex, money and he finds it not enough, he indulges himself on drugs. 

What is he looking for?  It is “pleasure” the common goal in many countries. 

Some philosopher told us that pleasure, or happiness is the only thing which could not be an aim in life. Whenever you start seeking for pleasure, you will not have it. And the only result is vain. Happiness is something which will enter your life without your awareness. When you are working for something  earnestly and concentrated, suddenly happiness will be there. It is not an aim; it could only be a second product of your effort. 


****

Why do we need to tell such a story when we are talking about the leadership of mankind? 

Yes, many people had an illusion that it was money that matters.  A leading country must be the richest country in the world. 

And it was wrong. 

A true leadership does not need to be rich. 

It was like a group of people who were lost in a dark forest. It was not money that can lead them to a safe place, but the knowledge of a direction. 

Do you know about the purpose of life? and the purpose of human beings?

Do you know the way out of the forest? 

Some one would laugh at such an idea. He will say, when I have got the money, I will find out a way. That was why I need to tell the story of a young man falling from a height. Money could help a little. But it needs something else for a direction. 

It needs a wisdom to know the meaning of life. 

The country which knows it, and acts on it, should be the leader of the world. Because if the country knows the meaning of life, they would surely have a proper way to lead a better life. Anyone who knows the way out of the dark forest will be the leader. Others will follow. 


What is the point? 

The point is:

Wisdom is more important than money. 

And this is the opposite of human behavior now. 

All countries are  taking "science"  very seriously. They thought it is the only thing that could bring in money and if your country have money, even you are sure that your country is on the way to destruction, and it is ok. 

Very talented young arts people were ignored. Arts subject like Music, Literature, and Painting etc. remain unnoticed always. Old philosophers would be beggars and will die on the street. Who would mind to think about the things not related to “development” or “investment”?  "Investment" is for commercial purpose only. People will not care to give a dime for the arts. They have money, but they just don't care to spare a few coins. It is the wisdom within them determined their thought.  They have been too eagar for an external success. 

"Science" is a name very different few hundred years ago. "Science" meant only money now in the modern world. Many of the rich science people do not have curiosity. They had forgotten to search for the meaning of life long ago. 

Any country who could find out the meaning of life will lead the world. Money or nuclear weapons could not lead the world, only wisdom could. 



****

And the following issue seems interesting. 

The Chinese Monkey King Sun Wu Kong had almost found the answer when he entered hell and fetched the Directory of Death from the King of Hell the Yama Raja, he was very angry to have found his own name "Sun wu Kong" was on the list of the Directory of Death. He deleted his own name immediately. That meant he will not die from now on. Because the  Directory had a time table for every body in the world, and every body will die on time. Since he had deleted his own name, he was sure to enter eternity. 

And it was in this place Chinese philosophy was meeting with the West. 

What if you are in Heaven already? What if you will not die? What is the meaning of a person living eternally? What is the purpose in going to the Heavens? Do you like Eating and Drinking and Having Sex and Drugs every day? 

That is the puzzle of the Western civilization. And China also.

It is a difficult question:  What is the meaning of eternity? Why we all wish to have it?


****

The lucky thing in human history was that we had entered the Age of Socialism.  

Humans are  regarded as a whole and humans are more than individuals. The whole species will last longer.  

Socialism is not a perfect design and  needs modification, but the concept is not the same with the old idea of individualism. 

When each and every person can see himself as an image of a total specis, he will have a new vision.


Humans are regarded as a whole. The purpose of human life could be seen more clearly.  

There will be love in the whole more than individual fighting. 

And to search for the meaning of a whole is much easier than the meaning of a self. 

Those are not selfish will find out the direction of life more easily. 

It is sure that humans will have a bright future under the leadership of a country of wisdom. 

It is a very clear point that leadership is related to wisdom more than wealth. Who will be the leading country in the future?  It is only about their wisdom, not necessary their socialistic or capitalistic approach. 

There were no socialistic concepts in earlier history. However, a different  idea about how humans should be living appeared. It is in the very early beginning of the Age of Socialism now. We do not know how long the Age of Socialism will last, but it is obvious that to search for the future is better through a whole body than  single units. 


This is the ultimate reason why you need to love your country. To think in the terms of a whole country is more effective than to think for the selfish self or family interest.

One will have a deeper and wider vision for this.

How could the CHINA-US conflict be settled?

 

9380  How could the China -US conflict be settled?       20220703 


The conflict could be settled in a higher level of wisdom of both the countries. 

When  they have reached to a higher level of wisdom, they could see the real interest of themselves as well as the world.

 

We shall examine the situation if they cannot reach the higher level and we might need to know the following:-

(1) What will happen before they have reached the higher level. 

(2) What needs to be done in such a situation.
